[Notes]
Four master traditional musicians from central West Virginia performing live at the 1975 Brandywine Mountain Music Convention. Skilled banjoist and singer Phoeba Cottrell Parsons (1908-2001), champion fiddler Ira J. Mullins (1902-1987) and popular mountain artist and banjo player Jenes Cottrell (d. 1980) play alongside Wilson Douglas (1922-1999), an accomplished fiddler who possessed an ancient repertoire. The Morris Brothers accompany these artists and act as MC during the concerts.
